I went with the WCC x-pipe, it is just like the magnaflow but is a better price. I wanted one with a true x in the pipe, the magnaflows have this and wcc has that style. But the Borla and Corsa meet two pipes together, and has a different style than the WCC x-pipe. I went with the WCC because it was a good bargain, and I wanted to try a new place to purchase something. West Coast Corvette is an awesome place to buy things BTW. Hope this helps!

I have a Bassani X-pipe on my car. Don't know whether it is the best or not, but it has done a very good job of eliminating resonance and popping that I was experiencing with my exhaust.

I have a Corsa X-Pipe with my Corsa system. I figure the company that made my cat back system would make the best X-Pipe for it.

save your money, this mod does little to nothing for performance, I'd invest in a complete long tube header system

Get the Magnaflow. It's probably one of the best made on the market.

I would look for a used one first. I found a Corsa that was never mounted up but the guy took the initial hit on buying it and I took it off his hands as he went a different direction on his setup. I did headers, X, and cat backs at the same time so hard to say what exactly it did for me.

I agree, lots of good deals out there. Bassani on mine to go with the LT's and SuperTrapp mufflers. Very well built X-pipe.
